2020 Olympia - Flex Lewis Skipping the Olympia!

[mphgrove]

What is going on here? Thought he had a crack at being near or on top.

From Flex Lewis

Olympia. Devastation
-
Would be one word to describe my last three weeks.

Anyone who knows me, knows I work hard and suffer in silence. I am used to telling myself to “suck it up” on the hard dig deep days of prep, with the mentality of all gas no breaks. On this occasion it took my wife to step in and say something to me! This was the first time in 8yrs @alir87 has spoken up so needless to say my blinkers came on. It was only a few days later, that I was trying to fight my coach @neil_yoda_hill1 and Ali’s decision about pulling out of the Mr. Olympia.

Since my first show at 19 years old, bodybuilding has been my life. In that time Neil has been with me for every single show. We have never pulled out of any show. I can tell story’s about competing with injuries, being sick, heck one show I got conjunctivitis and I was blind on stage. Pulling out? Not a thought!!!

So making this decision with my team was not easy for me. I fought it hard, and I still struggle with it, I be lying if I said different. But I am in a good metal state and I am staying positive about all this. I want to wish every athlete who is to compete at this very special Mr. Olympia the very very best. This is going to be one of the most unique and craziest shows in history. What a show!!!! Good luck lads:

His posted statement mentions a variety of injuries , plus some vague comment about his eye "closing up" or something.
He didn't say that some may be Covid related, but contest prep during a pandemic can't be easy.
Plus, team Flex would have to fly and stay in Vegas in Dec, which still might not be safe in a few weeks.

Probably doesnt want to be in embarrassment of a show w/ masks, no audience, etc.
Complete buffonery.

Are they still having the Olympia?  Is it going to be virtual with guys posing in their kitchens and bathrooms on Zoom?

Was he prepped by that guy?

[Flexacon]

It will be some weak excuse for pulling out. Like minor back or shoulder issues or a bunion.

He got a free pass to the Mr O too. Didn't actually qualify for it.

Fuck that chinless sheep shagger.

Too bad as I think he could have won it this year.

[Flexacon]

Hearing it was a shoulder injury. He will announce it soon.

[joswift]

Lets meet halfway and call it an elbow injury.

Boy, at the rate this is going, he needs to do an update video QUICK. Never pays to leave it all vague like that, especially here.

[harmankardon1]

He should have competed last year, that was an epic fuck up on their part.

[Matt]

Flex has anal herpes and a torn rectum

I know what you're talking about, but you have a few details wrong:

Flex has gooey feet herpes.

[Ron]

Tough decision to make, wishing him the best

[usmcdevildoc]

Tough decision to make, wishing him the best

1. Signifies the end of bodybuilding.
2. Go to Vegas and get Corona!!
Pretty much it.

[SOMEPARTS]

Deterred by this sign?
